Trigger Point will be holding a Myofascial Compression Techniques workshop on Saturday, May 4 here at our gym. You can register for the workshop here or by clicking the link in the sidebar. The cost is $279 for the 9am-5pm workshop. Attendees will also receive their own Trigger Point Performance kit to take home ($150 value).

It’s the last WOD of the CF Games Open 2013 and it looks as if they’ve saved the best for last.  An intense  variation on the infamous “Fran”, this WOD will surely test your mettle.  You’ve got the most dreaded couplet, thrusters and pull ups, in an AMRAP setting that increases as you progress.  As always, we will scale the WOD according to skill level so don’t even think about WOD shopping today!  See the video below for WOD standards.  Good luck Intrepids!
